ministration, U in Hertford the Mcond Wednesday of ach
month at the Perquimans County Court House.
Question: Do I have to sell my
farm in order to get social securi-
ty benefits at age 65?
' Answer: . No, a farmer may
r have net earnings from his busi-
ness up to $1,200.00 in a year and
still receive social security bene
fit payments for each month of
y the year. If the net earnings ex
: "ceed $1,200.00 he may lose one or
more checks. If he works every
month in the year and has net
, earnings of over $2,808.00, no
checks would be payable.
1 'Question: I am no longer able
' 'to operate my farm but I don't
. want to move off the farm. Could
I rent, my farm and still draw
' social security benefits?
' " Answer: : The $1,200.00 limita
tion on .earnings after retirement
does not include income received
from rent pr investment income
such as interest and stock divi
dends. However, the extent to
which a landlord participates in
the production on the farm might
affect his benefit payments. For
further information contact your
lopal social security office.
.-Question: ' If I never retire
from operating my farm, how will
I ever receive any social securi
ty benefits?
Answer: :The law provides for
payment of benefits at age 72,

earnings. This provision was man gave her report. Old and
placed in the law so that per
sons who delayed retirement
could receive some benefit from
their social security tax contribu
tions., ,, .
Question: Each year I make a
profit of about $1,500.00 from my
farm. I don't expect to retire.
Should I file for social security
benefits?
Answer: If you have reached
age 65, you should contact your
social security office. Even
though you do not retire you may
be able to receive benefits for
some months of the year. Some
payments may be made if your
earnings for a year are between
$1,200.00 and $2,080.00.
Question: Both my wife and I
are over 65.' If I continue to op
erate my farm, is.it possible for
my wife to draw benefits?
Answer: Probably not, since,
benefits are not payable to a wife
or dependent children for any
month for which the insured per
son is not eligible for benefit pay
ments. If your earnings permit
you to receive some monthly
benefits, your wife could also col
lect for those months. She can
not bfrpaid wife's benefits for any
months you are not eligible for
benefits. , .

The first two week's experience
under North Carolina's automo
bile liability insurance law indi
cate that car owners generally un
derstand it, Motor Vehicles De
partment officials said this week.
Another indication is that many
are not yet ready to buy both
their license plate and the liabili
ty insurance they must have in
order to get their tags.
Officials estimate there are still
some 200,000 uninsured owners,
although deadline for new tags
comes February 15.
In other words, the sale of 1958
license p 1 a t e s is proceeding
smoothly but slowly when com
pared to last year, according to
Miss Foy Ingram, director of the
agency's registration division.
During the first two weeks
there was some indication that the
automobile owning public is more
familiar with the liability insur
ance law than with the Other new
law which requires an additional
payment of $1 on each license
plate; the proceeds to be used, for
the driver education of teenagers
in high school.
